On to East Asia. This on Japan is interesting--had expected a larger steppe presence based on some conversations with a Turkish classmate who alleged linguistic and cultural (eg, horse-and-bow samurai) traces to Yayoipic.twitter.com/dvNo9Udst5
Oh my God I was not expecting this. Bold move, let's see how it plays outpic.twitter.com/lT3skgqzjt

Ahhhhhhh,, and now he's starting shit. The last section was a carefully-worded cri de coeur to the left to not to let HBD types own the space geneticists are making. Here he's firing right. It reads lazy. :/ "You believe bad things" vs "Here's evidence you're wrong"pic.twitter.com/ABuKIUdhn1
